not be necessary IL use pegs IN stakes to
hold the layer In place; but with larger
plants they are usually needed for keep
Ing the laycrod branch steady and in enc
position while the neT roots are being
emitted.
The proper time for making layers Is rs
variable us Is that for making cuttings.
But, rs n rule, layers should be made
while tho parent plant Is growing most
rapidly. because roots will he produced at
such times llorc readily than at any other,
although with several kinds IL will make
very little difference, us they produce roots
freely under almost al conditions and
from all parts Of the plant. With the
larger proportion Of both deciduous and
evergreen trees and shrubs, layering
should not begin until the leaves have
fully expanded and tho new growth Of the
season is fairly under way. II layered
earlier, many Of the declduous trees and
shrubs will "hlced," as It is termed, from
the wounds made on the layered parts,
and the sap flowing from these wounds
will often corrode and otherwise injure the
exposed cells and entirely prevent the pro-
duction OF roots therefrom. Wounds
made in the branches Of coniferous trees
during the winter and early spring months
are usually soon covered 10y the eXudng
resin, the severed and otherwise exposed
cells thereby becoming fully protected, not
only against the influence of moisture
from without, but it eflectually prevents
the formation OF n callus and production
OF roots. For this reason, such conifcrs as
pines, spruce, and frs should always be
layercd at time when the sap is thinnest
and flowing most rapidly, as during the
first growth Of spring and early summer.
With some kinds of hardy dcciduous trees
and shrubs the autumn is the better sea-
son in which to make layers.

ENEMIES OF THE PLANT LICE.
WINGED AND wINGLEss LICE.

On the SNOWFALL, where the leaves roll
up and protect the lice, it is found that
an application of this mixture, in the pro-
portion of one to eight, used just before
the plant lice eggs hatch, is astonishingly
efficient. This early treatment is abso-
lutely necessary in such cases as the snow
ball, and is to be recommended on the
score of economy in case Of nursery stock
and fruit trees. At an early stage it is
less difficult to make thorough application
than after the tree or plant is in full
foliage.
The liquid must be applied with energy;
gentle sprinkling is not sufficient; it
ought to be put on with good force

>trictly speaking. with the tip of the
tongue, one cant really taste at all. II
you put n small drop Of honey or oil Of
bitter almonds on that part Of the mouth.
you will find, no doubt to your surprise,
that it produces no effect of any sort;
you only taste it when it begins slowly to
diffuse itself, and reaches the true tasting
region in the middle distance. But il
you put a little cayenne or mustard on
the same part you will find that it bites
you immediately-the experiment should
be tried sparingly-while if you put it
lower down in the mouth you will swal-
low it almost without noticing the pun
gency of the stimulsMt. The reason is
that the tip of the tongue is supplied only
with the nerves, which are really nerves
of touch, not nerves of taste proper; they
belong TO a totally different main branch,
and they go to a different center in the
brain, together with the very similar
threads which supply the nerve of smell
for mustard and pepper. That is why
the smell and taste of these pungent sub
stances are so much alike as everybody
must AVE noticed, n good sniff at q mus
tard pot producing almost the same irri-
tating effects as an i%ncautious mouthful.

Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and

cation. A useful stimulant OF the urinary

they become inactive, but increases their
vigor and secretive power. By increasing
the activity of the kidneys and bladder,
this medicine has the additional effect of
